The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has debunked reports making the rounds that the President would make full board appointments in January, 2017.
Shehu had been quoted as saying that President Buhari would make full board appointments by January but the spokesman has come out to deny ever saying that.
In a tweet Thursday afternoon, he distanced himself and the Presidency from such a promise.
He tweeted:
RE: “BUHARI TO MAKE FULL BOARD APPOINTMENTS JANUARY”
We wish to rebut the above tabloid headline which has been trending in the last 48hrs.
That President Buhari will make full board appointments in January 2017 as published did not come from us.
In the interaction btw myself & some State House correspondents in which I tried to clear a few issues that they raised, here’s what i said:
“You know that d reconstitution began methodically, from sector to sector. You should expect that to resume at d beginning of the New Year”
“The President has given directions on what to do.”
Kindly help us to correct the misrepresentation.
